VETOED BY THE PRESIDENT.
The Dependent Pension Bill Not Yet
 a Law.

WASHINGTON, Feb 12 Tho President sent in yesterday his veto of the dependent Pension Bill It is regarded by those who listened to it's reading in the House as q very strong mes- sage; and it will undoubtedly kill the bill.
 MT. Cleveland declares that tho purpose of tho bill is inexpedont, and that it's provisions cannot be carried into effect without such an amount of scrutiny and spying into the circumstances, the daily life, and habits of claimants as would be odious to any self-respecting man. It is evi- dent. from the tone of tho message, that the President would have signed the bill, out of his strong sympathy with the old soldiers, if he could possibly have done it without con- senting to measure indefensible and mis- chievous as q whole and in many of it's parts.
 The bill passed the House by vote of 1S0 yeas and 16 nays, without much debate Tho nays were all Democrats. In the Senate the bill was passed without division.

Lost a Fortune.

Some one once asked John Jacob Astor about the largest sum of money he ever made at any one time in his life. He said in reply: "The largest sum I ever missed making was in reference to the purchase of Louisiana in connection with Dewitt Clinton, Gouverneur Morris and others. We intended to purchase all of that province of Emperor Napoleon and then sell it to President Jefferson at the same price, merely retaining the public domain, charging two and one half per cent. commission on the pur- chase" It fell through, however, for some trifing cause or other. Had they succeeded, Mir. Astor estimated that he should have made $s0,0O0, ,O00.-D,y Goods Chronicle.

FOR COAST OFFENCES.
Two Important Bills Passed in the
 Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Senate to-day passed, in less than twenty minutes, two bills appropriating S21, ,00O,0O0 for coast defences, naval armor and armaments for Notifications and cruisers. It is the largest appropriation, except in the regular appropriation bills, that has been made at any time since the war. Had there been urgent need for immediate action in the presence of an invading enemy, the pro- ceeding of the Senate could not have been more prompt or unanimous, The two meas ures look to the establishment of a plant for sea coast guns at Watervliet arsenal, West Troy, New York, and another plant for guns for naval vessels at Washington; the purchase of steel from American manufac- turers, and the beginning of a comprehensive plan for sea coast defences.
 Some question was raised as to the power of the Senate to originate bills appropriating so large sum as S2l ,000, GOO but it is understood that Senators who were anxious to push the matter knew that the bill would be substan- tially remodelled in the House, and for that reason no time was spent in attempting toper- feet the plans.

It Went Around.

A Seattle, Washington Territory, paper says: Among the dispatches on mother page will be found an item concerning a fatal fire at New Westmin- ster. The scene of the fire is about 120 miles to the northward of Seattle. The dispatch telling of the fire was first sent to St. Paul, and then to New York. The San Francisco office received it from there and forwarded it to Seattle. Thus we have an item from neghboring town that had travelled distance of about 8, 900 miles. There is not more striking example of the rapidity of telegraph than this mornings account of the fire at New Westminster.

BELCHING FIRE.
Mama Loa, on Hawaii Island, in Eruption and the Earth Quaking.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-Advices from Hon. olulu report that tho volcano Mauna Loa, on Hawaii Island, is again active. The eruption began on January 15, with an eruption of fire, smoke and lava. The lava flowed down the south slope, and if it's course is not changed it will flow to the sea without doing much daln- age.
 Earthquake shocks were frequent through out the island, but were without serious con- sequences. The Rev. J. D. Paris writes from Kaawola, Hawaii, under the date of January 19, as follows:-
 'sFor thirty-six hours there has been one continuous series of hquakes-tremendous jars, with pretty hard shakes interspersed, run ming into each other-and our house has seem- cd like little craft or bubble floating on a wave chopped sea.
